Cheetahs vow to attack Stormers from the kick off

The Cheetahs will not be in defensive mode for their last Super Rugby home game of the season against the Stormers at Free State Stadium on Saturday.

The home side, according to Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske, will run on to the pitch with the intention of throwing everything but the kitchen sink at a Stormers side that pride themselves on solid defence.

"We want to attack from the get go, but if that doesn't work then we will switch to plan B and start kicking the ball around," Drotske said.

"That's what we will do if we don't gain any momentum from our attack."

Drotske's side are playing for pride, while seeking momentum for the Currie Cup competition.

The Stormers, meanwhile, are in the running for a place in the knockout stages of the competition and will go all out against the Cheetahs.

Aiming to close out the group stage at the top of the combined Super Rugby conference, the visitors will go in search of a bonus point.
